Back from VACATION

Monday, August 8th, 2011

… long time ago but busy with work (August is always pretty busy), busy with meeting my family (<3), busy with being sick (bleh - felt a sore throat on Thursday evening, went to work friday, got home and went straight to bed. Have been laying in bed / on the couch until today and hope I can go back to work tomorrow).

Here are the latest vacation photos:

Vacation France

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

So I just read the comments on my “I’m on vacation” post and I see you’re expecting photos. So here they are :)

The Beach Flying away
The wonderful beach of Moliets-Plage, France. The photos on top were taken at sunset and I really like the smooth colors. I overexposed on purpose and prefer that.

Going out And... I'm standing
Sooooo… my first time surfing. The Lover is a surfer, had an extra board and took me to France to learn surfing. I started in the whitewater (see the photos) and the last days I was surfing falling the big waves. Unfortunatelly no wipeout photos of me like this one at boost-your-surfing.com or surfscience.com but wipeouts like that happend ALL THE TIME!!!!! Next year I’ll practice more :)

Goin’ surfin’

The vacation was great! The weather was great, it only rained on a few days and on those days we drove to Biarritz in the south or to the Dune du Pyla in the north.
How was your vacation? Did you do anything exciting? Didn’t you have vacation yet but still will?

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Ah, it’s been so long. My last post was April 11th 2010, so quite some things happened in the last 2+ months. First of all, the weather was terrible. It rained every day, for at least three weeks straight. People had the heater on – in JUNE! Very crazy and of course weather like this makes the people not exactly happy. Oh well, now the sun is shining and it’s warm and I really hope it’ll stay like this for a long long time.

So…

  • On April 30th my first niece was born :D
  • In May I spent a few days in Graz, Austria
  • Germany made it to the last sixteen semin final in the soccer World Cup
  • In June I spent a few days in Monaco with the sister

Hm, that’s pretty much it. So I guess I’ll just show you a few pictures now (more on my flickr).

Back from Croatia

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

It was great. We had a week full of sunshine, full of relaxation, full of hot weather, full of long days at the beach and in the ocean, full of very yummy food and full of happiness. I have made a BUNCH of photos and here are a few.
